set in the run up to the London Olympics

As the UK struggles with a hopeless war in the Middle East, the worst recession
in a hundred years and a fraud scandal which has rocked the government
to its core, the Prime Minister is determined to host an unrivalled summer

and sports fan, is among the many around the world eagerly anticipating
the games and is delighted when he is asked to become minister for
Sports and Heritage, heavily involved in the plans for the opening ceremony.
It beats the tedium of life in Westminster as even meetings are less boring
when the subject matter is sport.Less boring that is, until the first bomb explodes...

watches on television.
